Development of Action Plans

Teams formed around action plans Ogilvy contract awarded and funding

was provided for some aspects of some plans

Deputy Director reports will provide updates on other action plans

This item is a thorough presentation of activities specific to the GPAP

Purpose of GPAPMulti-division effortQuick wins to increase diversionIncrease the purchase of recycled

content materialsImportant part of GHG emission

reduction strategies

Elements of the GPAP

OrganicsConstruction and Demolition (C&D)Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC)Environmentally Preferable

Purchasing (EPP)Green Procurement Toolbox

(including Ogilvy)

6


Organics

Complete project with CalTrans to write specs by 2/06

Double the amount of compost/mulch purchased by CalTrans

Initiate one Agricultural demonstration project

7


Construction and Demolition (C&D)

Increase C&D ordinances by 60% (68)

Increase recycled aggregate used by CalTrans by 10%

Green 75 government buildings/schools

8


Rubberized Asphalt Concrete (RAC)

Increase CalTrans purchases by 5%

Increase local government purchases by 15%

9


Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP)

Create specifications for key materials/products

Work with suppliers and buyers to increase the supply and demand for environmentally preferable products

10


Green Procurement Toolbox

Develop a comprehensive toolbox to assist local jurisdictions and state agencies buy RCPs and EPPs

Resources include new and existing:– Model ordinances– Specifications and guidelines– Case studies– Results from demonstration projects &

surveys

CalTrans Compost Specs by 2/06

IAA with UC Riverside and ACP for specs, compost use index, and application best practices manual

Adoption of specs by April, 2006, including mulch, erosion control, compost filter berms, biofiltration strips and swales

Workshops with CalTrans Districts Specs go into the toolbox

13


Double CalTrans Compost/Mulch Purchases

CalTrans uses compost statewide primarily for erosion control

US Composting Council (USCC) estimates that CalTrans has a potential market for compost of between 3.35-6.72 M cu. yds.

CalTrans use of compost and mulch will be measured in 2007 and succeeding years

14


Agriculture Demonstration Project

Current Ag compost use guidelines very broad and spotty

Proposed demo project would use a more comprehensive set of parameters

Results will be incorporated into ACP index for use by growers

New specifications will become the foundation for further research

Increase C&D Ordinances by 60% (68)

Diversion potential: 193,000 tonsBaseline: 114 known ordinances

and policiesProgress: 2 added since July

200566 to go by Dec 2006

17


Increase Recycled Aggregate Used by

CalTrans by 10% Baseline:

– Current CalTrans specs allow up to 100%– Unknown amount of recycled aggregate

used by Caltrans Complete AB 1374 Contractors Guide by

7/06 Re-assess whether still a problem with

CalTrans by 7/06

23


Increase CalTrans RAC Purchases by 5%

The Levine Bill (AB338) mandates that CalTrans increase their use to: 20% by January 1, 2007, 25% by January 1, 2010, and 35% by January 1, 2013

Assuming that their baseline use is about 15%, CalTrans will achieve the 5% goal within 18 months

24


Increase Local Government RAC Purchases by 10%

As a result of the Kuehl Bill and 1st time user grant Programs, staff anticipates that an additional 80,000 tons of RAC will be used

This is an increase of about 16% over the next 24 months

Annual Recognition Program for Businesses and Non-profits

1,870 WRAP winners in 2005– Diverted 1.8M tons– Saved Businesses More than $140M

Supports GPAP by educating businesses to divert and buy EPPs

Provides data and case studies for toolbox and other Board programs

Local Jurisdictions use WRAP to work closely with their businesses

37


Environmental Management Systems

(EMS)

Process for Continual Environmental Improvement

Work Green, Travel Green, Buy Green = EPP and Diversion

Model for Local and State Agencies

WPMD Division Measurement

Goal: centralized data, evaluate market trends and program impacts, improve programs

Measures results not just outputs

Pilot conducted on Organics, Green Building and RMDZ

39


WPMD Division Measurement Findings

Possible to measure environmental and economic impacts

Data missing, single data points limited in value

Commitment needed to support measurement activities over time
